SONNET #130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
 Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
 If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
 But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
 Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
 That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
 My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
 As any she belied with false compare.

    William Shakespeare  

    (1564 - 1616)
